Binding CO₂ in building materials

How can CO₂ emissions in the building materials industry be reduced? This is one of the key challenges currently facing manufacturers and users of cement, concrete and other materials. After all, it is important both to counteract the effects of climate change and to meet customer demand for sustainable materials. At the same time, there are signs of rising costs for CO₂ emissions and new EU directives that link public procurement to mandatory CO₂ targets. Take Denmark, for example, where the CO₂ limits for new buildings have been tightened.

With our help, you can achieve negative CO₂ emissions: We are working on processes and products to bind CO₂ in building materials. Our services include

• Development of processes for the direct integration of CO₂ in mineral building materials through carbonation
• Development of innovative processes for the integration of CO₂ capture and recycling of construction waste
• Production of calcium carbonate through the use of CO₂-rich process gases and calcium-containing material streams – including the recovery of building sands
• We offer unique technical equipment in the field of carbon dioxide as a process medium, ranging from small plants with a volume of 63 ml to PLC-controlled plants on a technical scale with a volume of 1700 liters. Scaling up the developed processes is part of our range of services and is possible on site, including the necessary analytics to characterize the CO₂ incorporation.
